Article

me

1. a, an; singular indefinite article

   Manéragho zya sumby, sydlivas me Dovoghedhy jagho va po buzdari me gelebo dos...

   -Kraznys (Game of Thrones, Episode 302)

Usage notes

Before vowels, the form of the indefinite article reduces to m'. For example:

Sometimes, the form used is instead mi:

Oa odri si narysta, si oa engo sa he mi tyvaro. ― Your words are poisonous, and your tongue is like a snake

Creation and Usage Notes

I may have intentionally made the third person pronoun me so that that particular form wouldn't be associated with the first person. I also definitely intentionally made it non-gender specific. First, it's more common, and second, it would have been far, far too easy to fall into the cartoonish "Dothraki he man patriarchy" stereotype. Any human society is going to be far more nuanced than that. -David J. Peterson 01:06, 18 February 2020 (PST)

Creation and Usage Notes

Heh... I'm just noticing the third person singular in Engála is identical to Dothraki (another SCLEW). A pleasant coincidence for my warrior rabbits! (In this case, the pronoun is itself a shortening of the word imé "rabbit", which makes sense enough.) -David J. Peterson 12:21, 3 September 2024 (PDT)
